The safest place03

"Anyone there?"

"Anyone there?"

"No one's here for me to come in?"

Outside the dilapidated temple, there stood three adult men with stiff expressions and faces as pale as paper.

After they stopped briefly at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, they walked into the temple one by one with stiff steps.

Talk while walking.

"Anyone there?"

"Anyone there?"

"Where did the people go?"

Mu Hong hid far away from the ruined temple, looking at everything in front of him with a stern expression.

Without having to look carefully, she could recognize that the people walking in the ruined temple were the three adult men who had disappeared after their death.

These three men who should have been dead spoke as if they were still alive, and searched back and forth in the ruined temple, as if they were looking for something.

Mu Hong was not sure whether they were looking for her and her child.

The reason why she and her children, who were supposed to stay in the dilapidated temple, are not there at this time, can be traced back to the disappearance of Tianyi, who was born not long ago.

The newborn Tianyi was more well-behaved and quiet than any baby Mu Hong had ever seen.

As if he knows how dangerous this world is, he won't cry or make a fuss at random, and he sleeps most of the time.

It is really easy to take care of such a child.

But Tianyi disappeared silently.

Mu Hong, who was suddenly awakened, only saw a pile of small pieces of cloth that were originally used to wrap Tianyi being torn off.

No mother could remain calm when something like this happens.

Especially now that monsters have suddenly appeared and the mountain is not very safe.

Mu Hong was nearly driven crazy by the scene she imagined.

She thought that Tianyi’s sudden disappearance was because she was “stolen” by a monster.

Although she didn't know if there would be any monsters "stealing" the baby.

Fortunately, she had two other children around her, so Mu Hong did not allow herself to lose her mind.

She stood up and began to look for it.

Wenxiu and Tianchuan, who were already sleeping restlessly, naturally got up as well.

The search for Tianyi went incredibly smoothly.

Based on the clues left on the road, Mu Hong found Tianyi at the place where another child was buried.

Just find the picture of Tianyi...

In fact, it is not much better than the excitement brought by the monster stealing Tianyi.

When Mu Hong thought of what she saw when she found Tianyi not long ago, the scene of Tianyi lying in a pit holding another dead child, surrounded by a group of wild beasts, she began to have difficulty breathing.

She almost wanted to risk her life to kill the beasts around her and rescue her children.

Even if the final result may be her death in the mouths of many wild beasts.

Fortunately...

The beasts showed no intent to attack.

Just like when she gave birth to Tianyi, the wild beasts just quietly surrounded the ruined temple and looked around.

The beasts in front of them were still quietly staring at her who suddenly appeared.

Mu Hong endured the tremendous pressure brought by the numerous ferocious beasts, and approached Tianyi with a pale face. After confirming that Tianyi was still alive, she almost burst into tears.

She picked up the sleeping Tianyi from the pit.

Along with the other child who died at birth and didn't even have a name.

She held her lost child tightly and left quickly under the gaze of the wild beasts.

Originally, Mu Hong wanted to rest in the dilapidated temple for another night before leaving.

Wenxiu and Tianchuan are young after all, so it would be good for them to rest more.

But who would have thought that halfway through the journey, Tianyi, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and made a sound.

"ah……"

Tianyi, who was born just two days ago, is currently unable to speak fluently.

So he can only express his meaning through actions.

Maybe it’s the bond between mother and child.

Tianyi didn't need to express himself with excessive actions, Mu Hong understood what he wanted to say.

Tianyi was trying to stop her from returning to the ruined temple.

Mu Hong did not ignore what Tianyi wanted to express just because Tianyi was just a baby.

After all, she had never seen a child as special as her Tianyi.

When Tianyi was still in her belly, she felt that many of her premonitions of danger were related to Tianyi.

Tianyi is special.

So we have the scene before our eyes.

Wenxiu and Tianchuan lay beside Muhong, staring with wide eyes at the three "dead men" walking, searching and shouting in the dilapidated temple.

After a moment, he turned his attention to Mu Hong.

Mu Hong: “…”

Mu Hong retreated cautiously with the children.

Theoretically, it would be difficult for her and the children to be discovered from the ruined temple.

But that was the person who came back from the dead.

Mu Hong had heard all kinds of bizarre and strange stories from the elders, but had never actually seen one.

Moreover, everything that is happening before our eyes is even more incomprehensible than what the old man wants to express in his story, such as "a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold", "love is stronger than gold", and "there is love in the world".

Only when he completely disappeared from the sight of the ruined temple did Mu Hong let out the breath that had been stuck in his chest.

Then he took the children and walked through the mountains and forests without looking back.

Compared with those monsters, Mu Hong now felt strangely that perhaps the wild beasts in the mountains and forests were safer.

At least, although the gazes of those beasts gave her a strange and counterintuitive feeling, they did not make her back cold or her hair stand on end, as if she would be in hell in the next moment.

Thinking of this, Mu Hong: "..."

Well, actually, being stared at by so many beasts at the same time didn’t feel much better.

But what has been confirmed so far is that the beasts on this mountain do not seem to attack them at will.

They even sent edible food when Tianyi was born.

…

Mu Hong has lived in a village at the foot of the mountain all year round, and has also gone into the mountains with people from the village.

But she had never really gone deep into the mountains.

After all, there are many dangers in the mountains, and many people who make a living in the mountains eventually die in various accidents or at the hands of wild beasts.

Therefore, Mu Hong was cautious when walking in the mountains.

Especially when searching for edible food and water, as well as a place to rest every day.

However, Mu Hong soon discovered that as long as she was in the mountains, she could move with Tianyi.

There are always various wild beasts around.

These beasts looked scary as always, but they did not take the initiative to attack Mu Hong and his group.

Not only will they lead the way when they need to find water, but they will also appear to help when they accidentally fall into natural dangers.

Not only that.

Mu Hong discovered that at night, there were always monsters walking in the mountains.

They came in the night, and were so gray that they could not be seen clearly.

But the rhythm and feeling of its walking made Wenxiu and Tianchuan recognize it at once.

This monster was the one that would come and knock on the door every night when the temple was ruined.

Monsters don't come every night.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but every time a monster is about to appear, the sleepy Tianyi will open his eyes in advance.

As if to comfort each other, little Tianyi would grab one of Muhong's fingers with his own little fingers.

Strangely, Mu Hong's nervous mood would also be relieved to a certain extent.

And in this process, many wild beasts will appear from nowhere.

They surrounded Mu Hong's family in layers, their bodies pressed against each other, huddled together.

The monster that appeared in the night was moving straight towards Mu Hong and his group with its footsteps.

However, after Mu Hong and his group were surrounded by the wild beasts, the footsteps began to hesitate and pause.

Maybe a moment, maybe it will take a while.

The paused footsteps will then start again.

Walk in another direction.

After so many times, Mu Hong is no longer afraid of these wild beasts that often appear around her.

She felt that she was able to survive in the mountains with her children until now mainly thanks to the help of the wild beasts in the mountains.

She also knew the hatred and fear that others felt towards the wild beasts in the mountains.

But these beasts helped her so much.

Helping her and her children survive again and again.

Mu Hong felt only gratitude in her heart.

So on the way, Mu Hong, who had gotten rid of her fear of wild beasts, would occasionally help the wild beasts with some things that were not convenient for them.

For example, using the scraps of cloth he carries with him to bandage a wounded beast;

Remove some extraneous foreign objects from the beasts;

Just a little clean up for the clean beast or something like that.

So the wild beasts that had been hiding and following Mu Hong and his group no longer hid deliberately.

They would appear from time to time and move forward with Mu Hong and his group.

Occasionally I would play with Wenxiu and Tianchuan.

Of course, the most popular one among the beasts is naturally Tianyi.

But Tianyi is too young now and is always asleep most of the time, so the wild beasts have no way to play with him.

…

Tianyi discovered that after his mother's attitude towards the wild beasts changed, she took one more action.

Mother Mu Hong would find a way to take Moore's body away from his arms while he was asleep.

Such behavior sometimes wakes Tianyi up.

Tianyi woke up in shock, and Muhong naturally stopped what she was doing.

He would also gently pat Tianyi's back and coax him back to sleep.

Sometimes Tianyi would not wake up because he slept too deeply.

So Maul's body will be taken again.

But it was different from what Tianyi was worried about.

Mu Hong, who took away Moore's body again, did not bury it, but placed it in another place.

For example, by the side not far away, or in Wenxiu's arms.

——Wenxiu is not afraid of her dead brother.

In fact, after so many times, although More was a dead fetus, there was no problem of rotting or stinking at all, and it even looked like it was sleeping.

It was enough for Mu Hong and the two children to discover something strange.

At this time Tianyi woke up and found that Moore's body was not in his arms. Naturally, he couldn't sleep anymore and began to search around.

Like a really simple little game?

The final result is that Tianyi finds Moore's body and holds it back in his arms.

Mu Hong will not stop Tianyi from looking for Moore.

She just watched quietly, and occasionally spoke a few words to Tianyi in a low voice.

Wenxiu looked encouraging.

Whenever Tianyi successfully finds More, Wenxiu would exclaim "Wow" in surprise.

If Mu Hong hadn't stopped her, Wenxiu would have already held Tianyi in her arms.

Mu Hong and the two children seemed to ignore the fact that Tianyi, a newborn baby, could already crawl around and accurately find More, and no one expressed any doubt.

They seemed to have tacitly acknowledged the specialness of Tianyi and More.

"My younger brother is special. He won't be afraid of those monsters in the future."

This sentence was said by Wenxiu.

The tone of voice when he spoke was so righteous and confident.

Although Tianyi also didn’t understand how being “special” could mean being “not afraid” of monsters?

After trying this kind of behavior a few times and finding that Tianyi would always find More, he stopped doing it.

After that, Mu Hong never tried to bury More again.

After so many days, Mu Hong finally walked out of the forest with a few children.
